Ki: What kind of idea had you up at oh-dark-thirty writing documentation and slinging code?
Nick: It's this idea I've had brewing for a while.

Nick: You know how the inventor's gene works. Inspiration strikes at any time. Well, that applies to code as well. The idea struck me as I lay there thinking and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I had to get up and write.

Ki: OK, but what does it do?
Nick: My notes turned into requirements, which became a spec, which became the alpha, it just kind of snowballed.

Ki: What does it do?
Nick: Haven't the foggiest.
